Alarms-Uplink
Mode
Keep your mission-critical telemetry on budget with our unique data compression protocol for satellite links.
Optimized Satellite Telemetry
Regenerate SNMP Alarms from Off-Grid Sites.
Sending alarms via satellite links has traditionally been an expensive proposition. Data usage can quickly exceed budgets if standard protocols are used at the source. Optima Alarms-Uplink Mode processes and compresses site alarms before transmission, keeping your data costs under control.
Compression
Alarms are first processed, and Optima employs a unique compression method that significantly reduces the size of alarm messages, often by a factor of 40 or more. This reduction makes satellite transmission more cost-effective.
Uplink
Once compressed, a scheduler queues these messages and sends them via the ALARMS UPLINK protocol to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. This system ensures that there are no duplicate or missed alarms during transmission.
Downlink
The alarms are then transmitted from the satellite to an earth station. This gateway receives and logs all incoming notifications, cataloging alarms from each remote site and holding them for retrieval.
Retrieval
A dedicated task within the Optima Remote Commander Server (RCS) polls this gateway to securely retrieve all pending alarm notifications. The system includes verification and authentication steps to ensure message integrity.
Regeneration
Finally, the Optima RCS reconstitutes the original SNMP trap or alarm notification. This regenerated alarm adheres to Optima's established MIB format, allowing your NMS to accept it seamlessly.
